Regarding the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
To Whom it May Concern,
Can the attached text really be accurate? Did Mr Feinberg really appear on
national TV and state that both the Attorney General and the 9/11 fund were
willing to overlook the status of affected illegal aliens when determining
victim compensation yet were not going to extend this leeway to gay victims?
How can this possible occur?
I have no agenda to advance regarding the status of either an illegal alien
or a gay person affected by this tragedy. I am offended that any single human
being who lost a life or was injured during the events of September 11 would
be denied the compensation that everyone else will receive. If we are not
about Freedom and Equality as a result of this horrific act, then we have
learned nothing from it.
Is it really acceptable to tell the nation that for one group, the laws are
set aside while for another group, the people are the ones set aside?
Please review the message that this selective policy sends to the country. I
hope to hear that every victim will receive equal compensation under the 9/11
Funds's guidance.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
